I add little bit of golden syrup for extra crunch and flavour. You say your cookies were not short. I am wondering whether its because of butter. Ghee is 100% fat and butter is 80% fat, 20% butter.Three-Cookieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01616627712817566828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-16654626487683382092010-11-22T11:24:16.404-05:002010-11-22T11:24:16.404-05:00Thanks for sharing more on Diwali, Mary!
